GOING: G(4)

Murphys Turf & Landscaping 0-58 Handicap 1600m

Track: GOOD 4   Clouds (Max: 16)   Rail: True Entire Circuit. (Pent: 5.25).  

A solid tempo on the cards with Frankie Two Angels taking charge. BORDER VISAGE (2) is yet to race in 0-58 grade, so will find this easier than all races he has contested since breaking the maiden and is drawn to get every chance. SAVATOFF (3) wasn't beaten far first-up and will appreciate the extra distance here. STORM'S COLOURS (5) is generally not too far away in these types of races and should be at peak fitness after three runs back from a spell. BUNJIL (4) has forgotten how to win but is rarely out of the placings. LEFKADA (8) should be ready to peak third-up at 1600m. SUGGESTED PLAY: Border Visage to win.
